Added Sunday Mississippi River At Kimmswick, Missouri The Port Of Kimmswick Is Receiving First Riverboats........
While tourists are a fairly common sight in Kimmswick, Missouri, they typically arrive via Interstate 55 or Missouri Highway 67. On Sunday, that is changing, as close to 225 tourists will be arriving at the Port of Kimmswick aboard the American Duchess riverboat.
According to Neal Breitweiser, the executive director of the Jefferson County Port Authority, the $1.3 million facility was designed and built with the largest riverboat in existence, the American Queen in mind, so handling smaller vessels should be no problem.
Stang says that this will be the first of many stops by the American Queen Steamboat company. He adds that they are looking forward to the historic Delta Queen arriving in 2023, and other riverboat companies have expressed interest in stopping at Kimmswick as well........

Mid County Fire Protection District Chief Scott Frandson says that his team responds to the majority of water rescues and drownings at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Missouri River Near Columbia, Missouri Large Fish Kill Beneficial For Missouri Ecosystem........
Officials with the Missouri Department of Conservation reports that a sizable fish kill following flooding in the middle portions of the Missouri RIver floodplain west of Columbia, Missouri along Interstate 70 is actually beneficial to the ecosystem.
Steffanie Abel, MDC Resource Science Assistant said that the many fish did not return to the river as floodwater receded. As those pools dried up, the water temperature increased and the dissolved oxygen decrease, causing the fish kill.
THe upside to the situation is that the majority of the fish killed were Silver carp, a type of aquatic invasive species. This fish kill event will provide food for many types of other wildlife species........

Mississippi River Personalities Former Missouri Barge Line President Discussed Family Ties To The River........
On Thursday, Robert Erlbacher II , former president of Missouri Barge Line gave a presentation at the Kellerman Foundation for Historic Preservation in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, where he discussed his family's ties to the Mississippi River over the years.
He says that when he was a youngster, the shipyard was his playground. During summer breaks he worked in the shipyard and spent time aboard the boats as they hauled cement and other materials along the Mississippi River.

Missouri State Highway Patrol Be Aware Of The Laws When Hitting The Water........
Float trips are an excellent way to cool off from the summer heat, as well spending quality time with family and friends. The Missouri State Highway Patrol wants to remind you that there are a few things that could get you into trouble, should you get caught doing them on Missouri waterways.
As far as alcohol consumption is concerned, the traditional laws pertaining to underage drinking and possession apply on the water as well. In addition, rapid methods of alcohol consumption are banned, such as beer bongs and modified containers with additional vents or "shot gunning" a beer.
Alcohol isn't the only thing that there are laws for. There are state rules covering water safety, snacks, trash, trespassing as well as indecent exposure........

Mississippi River At Alton, Illinois Alton's Splash Pad Nearing Completion........
Alton's newest water attraction saw more progress being made last week, as additional characters have been added to the Alton Splash Pad located in Riverfront Park near the Alton Marina.
So far, the splash pad has a steamboat, two bald eagles, a frog and other animals, all of which will spray water when the splash pad is completed later this summer.
Former Alton Mayor Brant Walker says that the recirculating splash pad is designed to provide a water play spot with nature-themed elements that tie into Alton's connection to the Mississippi River........

Lake Of The Ozarks Senate Bill Prohibiting Dock Blocking Awaiting Governor's Signature........
Missouri Senate Bill SB49, which would change the laws about dock blocking, is on Governor Mike Parson's desk, awaiting signature. If signed, the legislation would go into effect in August 28th.
The Senate bill bars vessels positioned within 100 feet of a permitted boat dock from being anchored in a way that obstructs ingress and egress of a vessel into and out of the dock, unless authorized by the boat dock permit holder.
The legislation also states that operating or positioning a vessel in a manner that obstructs or impedes the normal flow of traffic in the waters of the State of Missouri will be an infraction, as opposed to being a Class C misdemeanor for a first offense, or a Class B Misdemeanor for subsequences........

Water Safety MSHP Warns OF Dangerous Water Conditions........
The Fourth of July weekend is upon us, and that usually translates to a lot of people hitting the water. The Missouri State Highway Patrol would like to remind everyone that the recent heavy rainfall has made river conditions treacherous.
The water levels in area creeks and rivers are up, and some have moderate flooding. All of them, however, have strong currents. Corporal Juston Wheetley says that the river doesn't discriminate.
The high river levels are also a danger to boaters, as there is more debris in the water, some of which is lurking under water. If a vessel strikes an object, underwater, passengers can get thrown from the boat. The MSHP says that if you do hit the water, wear a life jacket........

Mississippi River At Chester, Illinois Highways Commission Rejected Chester Bridge Project Bid........
The Missouri Department of Transportation reports that the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission did not award the contract to rehabilitate the Chester Bridge during their regular meeting on July 1.
MoDOT says that four bids were received for the project, however, they were all higher than expected, exceeding MoDOT's budget for the project. The MHTC in turn directed MoDOT to identify alternative rehabilitation options for the bridge.
The Chester Bridge carries Route 51 across the Mississippi River, connecting the cities of Chester, Illinois and Perryville, Missouri.. The span will continue to be monitored with the next inspection slated for the fall........

Meramec River Near Ballwin, Missouri Swimmer's Body Recovered From The River In Castlewood State Park........
Late Friday, responders recovered the body of a teenage girl from the Meramec River in Castlewood State Park. Reportedly, she was swimming in the river with a group of people Friday afternoon, when she went underwater and never resurfaced.
Sergeant Tracy Panus, spokeswoman for the St. Louis County Police Department said that the past week's heavy rainfall has caused area waterways to rise, adding to the need for swimmers to take extra precautions, such as wearing life jackets.
Friday's drowning has added to Missouri's death toll, as at least 17 people have drowned or died in boating accidents in Missouri during June. That is more than any previous June in the past decade........

Mississippi River Near Grafton, Illinois The Piasa Bird May Not Be The Piasa After All.......
While the Piasa Bird is a familiar sight to those driving the along the Great River Road, not a lot is known about the mystical beast. The Piasa depicted on the limestone is not the original, nor is it keeping true to the actual Native American legends.
The Piasa currently painted on the Limestone Bluffs near Alton looks kind of like a dragon with wings, a beard, deer antlers, a scaled body and a long tail, forked like a fish. This depiction was created by professor and fiction writer John Russell in 1836 based upon notes from French explorer and Jesuit missionary Father Jacques Marquette. It is likely another indigenous cryptid from the mid-continent, which appeared everywhere from Lake Superior to South America.
Russell incorrectly derived the Piasa myth from the Illinois tale of the underwater panther, an aquatic cryptid. The word payiihsa, which comes from the Miami-Illinois language refers to a different cryptid within a different story Russell may have heard from the indigenous people. The Trickster, killing an underwater panther prior to being assaulted by two supernatural dwarves The dwarves are what were referred to as the payiihsa by the Miami and Illinois tribes.
According to David Cross, the foremost authority on the Miami-Illinois language and professor at Miami University in Ohio, the Miami-Illinois payiihsa is the origin of the word Piasa........

Upper Mississippi River Basin There Be Sharks In These Waters........
There have been rare appearances of bull sharks in river systems and other freshwater ecosystems on five continents This behavior has a long history based upon the wide geographical range of the phenomenon and the physiological adaptations allowing bull sharks' heading into freshwater, and fossil records.
Within the Mississippi River Basin, however, there have only been two bull sharks captured in the upper basin during the entire 20th century. Other archeological, historical and paleontological evidence of these animals appearing more than 300 miles upstream from the Mississippi River Delta is virtually nonexistent.
Bull shark movements within the upper portions of the Mississippi River are rare.

In 1937, two fishermen caught a five foot long, 84 pound bull shark in the Mississippi River near Alton, Illinois........ Click here to read more from wqad.com. With Video.

Mississippi River At St. Louis, Missouri Riverboats at The Gateway Arch Focus On Dockside Entertainment.........

As other non-essential businesses did, the Riverboats at the Gateway Arch shut down completely at the onset of the pandemic, and gradually reopened to the public.
